Packed iso with linuxcnc2.7.13(DebianDog-3.4-9-rtai-686-pae-2713.iso ) 17? MB .
No warranty ,only linuxcnc is update on that iso.
Should one day someone will test/report with different interface than parport.

From some time I have been looking for light distro with CNC controller for my old pc and I came across this forum.
I read all posts and without any doubts there is a plenty of great work done with remastering Puppy and Ubuntu.
I have tested both livecds from first post and only Ubuntu8.4-test-2.iso seems to work with my graphic card.
I was going to install it on a my hdd (prefere frugal) but I can't find neither install option nor ubiquity script.

As I was a little bit in a rush and I wasn't able to figure out how to install Ubuntu8.4 I eventually chose normal/standard Ubuntu 10 LinuxCNC iso.
On my second PC I use however DebianDog-Jwm with frugall instalation.

note to all: i dont receive notification of new post for this topic,it could sometime take a while before i notice it.... linuxcnc is pretty stable and there are no "security" update (yes,wrote it a few time...)to that "dog" ,so i dont have to come here often .

Here too its frugal,all the way .Take the time to learn dogs and puppys frugal install,as Perdido wrote ;its almost the same,learning curve worth it,you will end up wishing all distros could run this way...
If frugal,the only difference from usb or hdd/ssd(i must test one day ntfs/lick/frugal) are changes in your grub menu.lst entries .If you get success at full install , please share your results!
